Hungarian designer Judit Eszter Karpati has created a user-programable fabric in a project she calls "Chromosonic." Just think of the Hypercolor t-shirts that were all the rage in the 1990s, and then imagine controlling the changing colors with nearly infinite precision.

Chromosonic is powered by two neat bits of technology: The textile is dyed with thermochromatic ink, which changes color based on temperature, and nichrome wires are woven into it. When the wires heat up, the color of the fabric changes.
